OK, he’s not that new. He’s been recently introduced into the Liberty hall of fame. OK, not so recently, within the last year. Timothy Dunn is a celebrity florist who created his line of home fragrances – candles and reed diffusers. While I initially thought his products smelled alright but…

…if you are really dark haired and have strong eyebrows. I’ve been meaning to write about this for a while. After all hair is a major part of your face. And the trend of going beach blonde/ash/grey/silver has been growing a lot lately. I’ve already had my hair bleached for…

I love finding scents that have the smallest twinge of a magic touch. That doesn’t just include beautiful, mysterious perfumes, but also those that just look you in the eyes and say “I know some spells. Wanna see?” You’d obviously tell me I have no business smelling perfumes if I…

Tom Ford is probably responsible for half my eBay searches. Thank god he’s not responsible for half my beauty purchases. That would cost an INSANE amount of money. I would walked crippled by guilt for spending so much on lipstick/perfume. But that’s the point of going to a trip to…

Who hasn’t tried them? Hands up. Well aren’t you behind the curve, pal? They are the it thing in beauty right now. Scratch that – they were the IT thing ages ago. I’m probably slightly behind the curve myself. Question is are they effective and how to choose them? Answer…

If you can’t go without a drink throughout the day, you probably have a problem that must be addressed. But if you just like the smell of a little festive booze floating around this time of year, what you need is a good perfume that 1) is happy and 2)…

British brand REN always has something up its sleeve. Now they have something for the chronically lazy (hear hear) and/or the chronically busy. This flash review is for both. The New Flash Rinse 1 Minute Facial is a magic potion in a tube. You scoop it out, you put it…

The French know how to do chic. They know how to do skincare. They know how to do fragrance that sweeps you off your feet. So why not do perfectly scented skincare that sweeps you off your feet? According to their marketing director, Miryam Badault, Diptyque realized they were throwing…

Narciso Rodriguez, the designer whose perfume swayed millions of noses with his clean musky debut in 2003 has thrown another smell bomb in the mix. This is also an immediately affecting scent that leaves its mark in your nose like a non-violent version of shrapnel. Simply named Narciso, the new…

OK, Laura Mercier, give it up. Is Smooth Finish Flawless Fluide an alright-length name? Does it convey what the product actually is to the layperson? I don’t think so. With that rant out of the way – it’s a foundation by the way – let’s get to the bread and potatoes….

So first of all, I didn’t think I’d like any flankers of Signorina because that smelled like the dregs of a marketing nightmare aka like everything else on the market. Second of all this is not about that ridiculous limited gold edition that goes for something like 26.5k in Harrods (wha?)….

You can’t dislike Tralala, at least I don’t see how you can. It’s the perfume equivalent of one of those affectionate cats with violet eyes that you can’t shake off your lap. But it smells like a whole different animal. Penhaligon’s have their share of hits under their belt and…

I don’t know how I’ve reached this color scheme, but it was a happy accident to paint myself in the Gryffindor house colors. Polishes used are LOLA Make-up Nail Polish in Rusty Red (009) and Leighton Denny in Golden Girl. You can find both at Marks and Spencer.

It’s got the style pat down. Those sharp angles, those golden locks, the clean edges, the perfectly groomed textures. We all know the WASP of the North. The pretty lady who lunches, who wants to be in with her equally pretty lady friends, who wears cashmere sweaters, possesses an enviable…

Thierry Mugler may not launch a lot of new perfumes, apart from the finely tuned flankers they release relentlessly around their core collection (Angel, Alien, A*Men and Womanity), but the brand cannot be denied its immense influence on the emergence and acceptance of the extreme gourmands. Despite finding Angel unstomachable…
